    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    :laugh: Yes thats right. You are INSISTANT that all Aussies over 50 are racist and that Australia is steeped in racism. You're even keen to dictate it too Australians, even though you've obviously never been there. You haven't ever qualified anything, you've just made sweeping generalisations...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    :laugh: Okay then 'honestbharani', how about you write to the ICC and every single sports publishing firm across the world and insist that we no longer use the terms 'finger-spinner' and 'wrist-spinner' for off-spin/LA orthodox and leg-spin/LA unorthodox respectively? Because for some reason...

    The "I'd love to meet him in a dark alley" XI

    Sorry mate, but in my opinion he's very immature for someone in his mid-20's. His performance after scoring that 50 in the second VB final was NOT good form.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    You know what 'C_C'? I don't think you have ever been to Australia. You've probably seldom met an Australian and you know NOTHING about Australia. I'm sick of you. You've gained NO impression about Australians, you're just trying to back up your absurd prejudices. You're fumbling about these...

    Hasn't personally abused any other cricketer? Really? I don't know about that...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    I can recall Warne suffering some really nasty stuff from the bank at the Basin reserve in the 1994/5 season. Taylor moved him from the boundary from what I recall... I wouldn't know if it compares with what Murali copps though...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    Okay, Warne is more effective, and IMO a bit better in any case. But they are both leggies and have different styles. My point was that it's a better comparison to Warne than with that cheating Tamil.

    The "I'd love to meet him in a dark alley" XI

    The two that spring two my immediate mind are: Brad Hogg. A very ulgy Australian in need of a good hiding, and the guy's in his 30's! Micheal Clarke: Looks like he needs a serious setback too, and let's hope for everyone's sakes he recieves one, or something that will make him grow up a bit...

    The "I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley" XI

    I agreed with all of these except for: I think Smith is f***-all and I think he needs to be met in a dark alley. I've got the funny feeling he's got a Geordie accent, an would probably be pretty handy with his fists.

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    At the end of the day, comparing Warne to Murilihtaran is futile as far as I'm concerned, as they are completely different bowlers. The only justification for comparison comes with comparing records, and I've never been one to indulge in such analysis. Warne vs. Kumble, that's far a more...

    *Official* Warne vs Murali Discussion

    misunderstanding? Excuse me. Muritharan is an OFFSPINNER. To offspin you are supposed to get most of your 'turn' by a 'twirl' action with your fingers, with a small assistance from your wrist. That's why it is often called 'finger-spinning'. Murilitharan gets alot of assistance by...

    When Will I be Famous?

    I played against him in soccer a few times when I was a teenager and I thought he was a bit of a *****. A mate of mine was in some teams with him and he didn't think much of him either. Of course we were all teenagers at the time... so I wouldn't assume he's anything like that now.:cool: I do...

    Curtly Ambrose vs. Steve Waugh

    I wouldn't ever suggest that series loss is the cause of the current decline in the Windies. But I remember the top team they had at the time seemed to suffer a real blow to their confidence, and they've never seemed the same since to me.

    Cricinfo's Top Five Player Searches...

    I have to say, as an ordinary joker, that I think Kyle Mills is actually pretty crap at any form of the game. He is of mediocre talent and ability, and his place in the team has more to do with his determination and attitude, playing in some successfull domestic sides and a current shortage of...

    Racism - Social pariah or public consensus?

    Recent means contextually not so long ago. What has the National front got to do with anything?

    Racism - Social pariah or public consensus?

    In my eyes you could make them responsible if they said 'Attack these jews' or whatever. But if they simply said 'Jews should die', then it's a rather loose connection in my book.

    Racism - Social pariah or public consensus?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but these 'incitement of violence' and 'hate speach' legislations are a recent phenomina. In any case, I think to blame the speachmaker for any such anti-semirtic scenario would be a knee-jerk easy way out of addressing the real problems and reasons for such an attack...

    Racism - Social pariah or public consensus?

    C'mon, that's not really Racism. It could be nationalism... And I'm sure we're not the only ones who get a laugh at Aussie accents:)

    Racism - Social pariah or public consensus?

    There are no laws on slander, libel or defamation. There are 'torts' however... But in the context of this thread, we aren't talking about such personally directed insults. And in every western democracy, you are free to say anything provided it does not directly harm someone.
